Still, he wants to give it a whirl since Canada doesn’t have a shortstop with extensive major league experience

And he improves this situation…how?

So i’m happy they let him go, I was not happy with his batting average or OBP and so on. Also why are you so sure I’m rooting for team USA?Just because I’m a Yankee fan doesn’t mean I’m rooting for USA too win. I’m rooting for Mexico my homeland. I still plan to laugh because Martin has the body of a Catcher not a shortstop, and that just gets my cracken up side ways. Oh yes, and it also made me laugh that you thought Toronto is going to move all the way to the finals? Oh that is cute. . .adorable.

Here’s a guy willing to do what it takes to help his country, and by the way, he can play SS, and you rip him? Are you by chance upset that the Yanks didn’t retain him? You’re lucky that you still have Rob Thomson.
